would love to read this but all the Business Journals are prohibitively expensive- if someone wants to it please shoot me a DM bizjournals.com/austin/news/…
Have never had an issue navigating this and have driven it my entire life - this usually includes a stop in Raton for gas, food and puppy pitstop - maybe increase the ridiculously low speed trap "safe driving" zone along the road to Ted Turners ranch - that would be a start cpr.org/2026/10/26/raton-tex…

Looks like this will be another #txwater discussion in the upcoming #txlege session. When you have private entities owning or managing infrastructure water or other, they are doing so to make a profit. They are also obliged to reinvest in their infrastructure which many times has been neglected for decades and those costs are spread out across their portfolio. Feel how you want to but in my view many systems have clearly undervalued and underinvested in their water infrastructure for decades, part of that is been due to a lack of state and federal funds and part has been a reluctance or lack of political will to do the right thing which should have included increasing rates, proper asset management etc. I am certain that the @TX_WIN Texas Water Capital Needs survey presently underway will provide some valuable insights for policymakers.

A lot of things to consider here - one particularly noteworthy fact is the time between contract award and notice to proceed - dailytrib.com/2026/10/08/mar… #txwater
Congratulations to the five Texas entities receiving FY2026 pipeline safety grants from @PHMSA_DOT including @DamageTexas @txrrc @TDEM @PermianBasinRPC & West Central Texas COG!
Texas ranked second nationally in total funding awarded and these investments support essential work to prevent excavation damage, strengthen safety oversight, prepare emergency responders, and protect communities and critical infrastructure.
Damage prevention requires coordination among utilities, excavators, regulators, emergency responders, and the public. Contacting @texas811 before digging is a critical first step. Strong partnerships, education, and sustained investment help turn that first step into safer projects and more reliable infrastructure.
